Baylor football coach Art Briles said his team appeared to be “right back in midseason form” during today’s opening session of spring drills in Waco.

The Bears, who return 14 starters from a 7-6 team, worked out for more than two hours in helmets and shorts to being their spring session. Baylor will conclude its spring drills with a controlled scrimmage on April 2.

Briles praised his players for staying in top shape during off-season workouts.

“It seems like we’ve only been gone a weekend,” Briles said. “We were ready to go and very energetic on both sides of the ball.”
